Description: 1992 ============================== The lightning Rod , The powder keg cage , the polarizing 'hit' song out of the South Bay from one of undergound pop rock's most catchy clever melodic little hooky trios straight out of the pages of Flipside magazine ; G.E. 'White / Black " as it is known in the Redondo Beach communities and around the world is loaded with twangy guitars, big guitars, big melodies and grand bombastic production...that can only come from the mind of Clark the Shark and G.e. in all his glory ...bassist Rick Carmody was not actually 'in' the band at the time of this now infamous lipsynch video shoot in 92'...legend has it, he may have been possibly 'paid a fee' by Hagins to show up for this video as he was now in another South Bay band or something like that anyway...this song was penned way back in 1990 in the Flipper era g.e. days but was rejected for the album 'Going Legit' as too pop by Carmody and maybe too by Hagins himself....this is a sound unlike ever heard before out a' g.e. or any other band...what with it's in-your-face don't give a shit lyrics offensive and beautifully carefree and manipulatively "naive"....the production is big and gaudy almost like if Styx or Rush tried to be cool...this song was never really played live as their was no band left to play it !!! It is the centre piece of the later released rock opera from 1995 "White Suburban Liar$ - The Rock Opera" ====================== Additional review found at www.thegreenhouseeffectband.com "White Black Thang" or 'White / Black' as it is simply known is the definitive powerful G.E. stance of the 'Final G.E. phase of 1992"...This song is from the fine album "Agenda". An album recorded by Clark Hagins and Clark Hagins alone , playing and painstakenly overdubbing all instruments at Jet City studio in El Segundo California in April of 1992....This song was actually penned by Hagins way way back in 1990 about the same time as 'Waiting for your love to fail" and other 'Immorally Moral' songs.....Hagins kept this song around just incase....the song could have come out on the 1991 album 'Going legit' along with 'Star' and 'Ben is Dead' but did not materialize at that time for what ever reason....This hugely poppy infectuous 'hit' type song dropped onto record store shelves in 1992 to stunned listeners who had never heard the likes of stuff like this from G.E. before....The guitars and melodies are huge but also a tender Byrds like twangy guitar plays along too within the song....the drums are heavy and over-all this is a bombastic spastic big song that goes way way too far perfectly and literally sacrifices itself in the name of fine art ! ...The 'video' for the song is as hillarious 'alternative rock from the 90's" as it gets....bassist Rick Carmody is actually not in the band at the time of the video shoot...he is somehow coaxed by Hagins to appear...sorta as if one last G.e. fun time get together.....European Drummer Pelle Carlson appears in the funny G.e. videos that would close out the career of this grand little trio straight out of Redondo Beach ; The Greenhouse Effect...........in all their rage and syrupy grand over-done glory !!! Notes; Drummers Greg Tarpley and then Martin Silva would exit G.E in 1992. .... and Pelle would do a pretty damn good job holding it all together at the bitter end....This song would later serve as the center piece of the 16 song retrospective release from 1995 ; "White Suburban Liars - The Rock Opera - The story of G.E. " Dedicated to the Late Great Arthur Lee and Love , -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- See what's free at AOL.com ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
